Catalytic Aldehyde and Alcohol Arylation Reactions Facilitated by a 1,5-Diaza-3,7-diphosphacyclooctane Ligand

We report a catalytic method to access secondary alcohols by the coupling of aryl iodides. Either aldehydes or alcohols can be used as reaction partners, making the transformation reductive or redox-neutral, respectively. The reaction is mediated by a Ni catalyst and a 1,5-diaza-3,7-diphosphacyclooctane. This P2N2ligand, which has previously been unrecognized in cross-coupling and related reactions, was found to avoid deleterious aryl halide reduction pathways that dominate with more traditional phosphines and NHCs. An interrupted carbonyl-Heck type mechanism is proposed to be operative, with a key 1,2-insertion step forging the new C-C bond and forming a nickel alkoxide that may be turned over by an alcohol reductant. The same catalyst was also found to enable synthesis of ketone products from either aldehydes or alcohols, demonstrating control over the oxidation state of both the starting materials and products.

Silylcarboxylic Acids as Bifunctional Reagents: Application in Palladium-Catalyzed External-CO-Free Carbonylative Cross-Coupling Reactions

A palladium-catalyzed external-CO-free carbonylative Hiyama-Denmark cross-coupling reaction is presented. The introduction of silylcarboxylic acids as bifunctional reagents (CO and nucleophile source) avoids the need for external gaseous CO and a silylarene coupling partner. The transformation features high functional group tolerance and it is successful with electron-rich, -neutral, and -poor aryl iodides. Stoichiometric studies and control experiments provide insight into the reaction mechanism and support the hypothesized dual role of silylcarboxylic acids. (Figure presented.).

Ketone Synthesis by a Nickel-Catalyzed Dehydrogenative Cross-Coupling of Primary Alcohols

An intermolecular coupling of primary alcohols and organotriflates has been developed to provide ketones by the action of a Ni(0) catalyst. This oxidative transformation is proposed to occur by the union of three distinct catalytic cycles. Two competitive oxidation processes generate aldehyde in situ via hydrogen transfer oxidation or (pseudo)dehalogenation pathways. As aldehyde forms, a Ni-catalyzed carbonyl-Heck process enables formation of the key carbon-carbon bond. The utility of this rare alcohol to ketone transformation is demonstrated through the synthesis of diverse complex and bioactive molecules.

Ni-Catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of N-acylpyrrole-type amides with organoboron reagents

The catalytic conversion of amides to ketones is highly desirable yet challenging in organic synthesis. We herein report the first Ni/bis-NHC-catalyzed cross-coupling of N-acylpyrrole-type amides with arylboronic esters to obtain diarylketones. This method is facilitated by a new chelating bis-NHC ligand. The reaction tolerates diverse functional groups on both arylamide and arylboronic ester partners including sensitive ester and ketone groups.

A Convenient Palladium-Catalyzed Carbonylative Suzuki Coupling of Aryl Halides with Formic Acid as the Carbon Monoxide Source

A practical palladium-catalyzed carbonylative Suzuki coupling of aryl halides under carbon monoxide gas-free conditions has been developed. Here, formic acid was utilized as the carbon monoxide source for the first time with acetic anhydride as the additive. A variety of diarylketones were produced in moderate to excellent yields from the corresponding aryl halides and arylboronic acids.

Ortho C-H acylation of aryl iodides by palladium/norbornene catalysis

Reported herein is a palladium/norbornene-catalyzed ortho-arene acylation of aryl iodides by a Catellani-type C-H functionalization. This transformation is enabled by isopropyl carbonate anhydrides, which serve as both an acyl cation equivalent and a hydride source. Double (re)agent: A palladium/norbornene-catalyzed ortho-acylation of aryl iodides was developed, and is enabled by isopropyl carbonate anhydrides, which function as both an acyl cation equivalent and a hydride source. This reaction exhibits excellent functional-group compatibility and broad substrate scope. Heterocycle moieties can be tolerated on both the aryl and acyl partners. FG=functional group.

Convenient Stille carbonylative cross-couplings using molybdenum hexacarbonyl

Palladium catalysis was used in Stille-type carbonylative cross-couplings employing Mo(CO)6 as the carbon monoxide source. Robust and convenient transformations were carried out in closed vessels at 100 °C, providing a set of diaryl ketones in good yields. Aryl triflates and bromides were used as coupling partners with aryl stannanes. Inclusion of the Mo(CO)6 destabilizing agent DBU made this protocol operationally simple and suppressed side-product formation.

Reduction of nitroarenes followed by propanol group transfer from tris(3-hydroxypropyl)- amine and cyclization leading to quinolines under heterogeneous Pd-C catalysis

Nitroarenes having electron-donating or -withdrawing substituents are reduced to anilines and cyclized with tris(3- hydroxypropyl)amine in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd-C along with tin(II) chloride and isopropanol in dioxane-H2O medium to give the corresponding quinolines in good to excellent yields.

Ruthenium-Catalyzed Formation of Quinolines via Reductive Cyclization of Nitroarenes with Tris(3-hydroxypropyl)amine in an Aqueous Medium

Nitroarenes react with tris(3-hydroxypropyl)amine in an aqueous medium (dioxane/H2O) at 180° in the presence of a catalytic amount of a ruthenium catalyst and tin(II) chloride along with isopropanol as hydrogen donor to afford the corresponding quinolines in good yields. The presence of tin(II) chloride is essential for the formation of quinolines. A reaction pathway involving initial reduction of nitroarenes to anilines, propanol group transfer from tris(3-hydroxypropyl)amine to anilines to form 3-anilino-l-propanols, N-alkylation of anilines by 3-anilino-1-propanol to form 1,3-dianilinopropane and intramolecular heteroannulation of 1, 3-dianilinopropane is proposed for this catalytic process.
